The five areas of the Relationship Attachment Model (RAM) are as follows:
Trust - Trust and Reliance are intertwined and constantly building on one another. Rely Commit - This should be shared and equally important to both partners. Touch - Touch is something to share when you can depend on the first four areas. Each of these bonding areas have a range of attachment and each are
independent of each other. Dr. John Van Epp suggests that a relationship
is in the "safe zone" if the attachment areas are built up in a
hierarchy. Visit Dr John Van Epps Homepage Lifechangers™ to view his programs and clips of his presentations of P.I.C.K. a Partner Program. For more information, please call the Program Coordinator at 302/225-1040. |
